Someone get our anxiety queen that is Kevin Day a bottle of vodka before he throws up

So excited to finally share this! I participated in this years AFTG Then & Never fest and had the lovely prompt of “what if Kevin is the one who killed Drake”. This fest was AMAZING to be a part of, and I want to thank the mods @aftgtandn for putting together such a wonderful event and bringing the AFTG community together once again to show off all the amazing creators we have!!

Do not repost please, reblogs appreciated

n'oublie pas de vivre • (french): don't forget to live

Jeremy would never judge him. Not for his injuries, or his still broken body, or his past with the Ravens. Not for the times he needs to get away, or the way he might manage the court. Not for what he still owes the world, what it may still want to take away from him. He’s safe here… he’s safe here. Surrounded by a crimson that doesn’t beg him to bleed, bathed in the gold of the sunshine court’s sunny captain. This is home, and Jeremy is the address, and every sun needs a moon to eclipse it.

In which Jean's injuries end his Exy career, but Jeremy still gives him a place on the Sunshine Court.

Written for the @aftgtandn fest!! Thank you so much mods for all of your hard work & such a fun event <3

It's Wednesday and I haven't done a wip Wednesday in ages and since I have about 4 different projects going on rn (being single sure makes you have a ton of free time huh?) I thought why no?

For my @aftgtandn I give you some inspirational material (and yes, that is the greatest album of all time for your feelings, whatever they are)

this fic is everything that i imagined it would be and more. had adored the thought of Jean leaving the nest with Neil and was in love with how both characters were portrayed here. finally ended up adopting it in the end for @aftgtandn 's Adopt-a-Work.

If I was easy to kill you would have done it already || Neil Josten & Jean Moreau || 9196 words

“I can’t - I can’t listen to you anymore,” he muttered. “I just want you out of here so I don’t have to keep watching you fail.” Nathaniel sighed quietly; his first sign of discontent. “The last three weeks have not made me better at exy,” he repeated. “I wonder how much better you could be if you weren’t afraid and hurting all the time?”

(symbolic meaning of dove: peace, freedom or love)

Neil brings Jean with him when he leaves the Nest after Christmas break in TRK

Can FINALLY share my T&N fic with y'all!!!

The Andrew Goes To Baltimore With Neil fic I've been wanting to write forever!

Read HERE.

Once again, thank you to the organizers of @aftgtandn! You're the best!💜

Snippet:

There was a man in front of Neil—middle-aged, calm, as though the sight before him didn’t affect him at all. He wore gray jeans and a black button-up, sleeves rolled to his elbows. Everything about him looked perfectly put together—except for his bare feet. As if the rough concrete in the basement didn’t bother him. He turned his head to look at him and Andrew froze. Icy blue eyes, cold as stone. Unruly auburn hair. High cheekbones. Familiar hard-set jawline, same ruthless mouth. Recognition hit him like a brick to the face. The man couldn’t be anyone but Neil’s father. The resemblance was too striking. But where Neil’s eyes were warm, this man’s held nothing. Just an unsettling, glacial calm. 

Neil’s father stared down at Andrew, his gaze dissecting him like he was some kind of specimen. Then he looked back down at Neil, his expression barely changing, except for a faint twitch at the corner of his mouth—almost like he was amused by how broken his own son looked.

My father gave me that, echoed in Andrew’s mind with the vivid memory of Neil’s scars under his fingertips. And he had the sudden, sinking feeling that neither of them was going out of this basement tonight.

i’ve been feeling smaller for @aftgtandn 2.4k words — Rated T

What if Aaron picked up Neil fro the airport that first day?

Summary:

Aaron narrowed his eyes suspiciously at Neil, preemptively admonishing when he’d told him, “Don’t do anything stupid in Arizona.”

“I won’t do anything stupid in Arizona,” Neil had promised. Aaron had given him a sidelong glance full of mistrust, but he hadn’t said anything else. Aaron’s intuition hadn’t been wrong—Neil went on to vanish for those fourteen days, leaving all of Aaron’s questions about Arizona, his family, where the hell he was, why why why unanswered.

Neil nearly sighed and just barely resisted. Aaron hadn’t said anything then, and Neil knew he’d have to touch base with him at some point too. They didn’t have many chances to talk between Aaron’s arrival and their picking up Andrew—he’d just hoped he wouldn’t have to contend with both twins in one night.

depraved heart | kevin/andrew/neil, M, 7k

In a different world, you would have stayed at the table, you would have made small talk. In a different world, you wouldn’t have had the stomach. In a different world, you wouldn’t have pushed Neil aside. In a different world, your hands wouldn’t be bloody. In this world, you’re the first one to make it up the stairs. You do what had to be done.

ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to give kevin day a knife and then cover him in blood............. :') loved writing this one even if it made me cry (wymack pov you were an absolute bitch!) and i spent more time studying trial transcripts than i did actually writing.

still. so fun to consider all this! i looooooved this year's @aftgtandn theme because it's SO so so so so fun to see how a tiny little change can have so many consequences on the universe and narrative as we know it.

t&n is a real dream come true and has my entire fucking heart — it's such a warm reminder of how GOOD fandom can be. thank you to everyone who makes that possible, and most of all to my fellow mods and helpers @mostlymaudlin @jaywalkers @rwnjun and @ashestoashes7 <3

IT LIVES IN THE THROAT

aftg · aaron & andrew · 14.4k, t. on grief, promises & what it means to be a brother. for @aftgtandn —i’m still here, he thinks. i’m still here, andrew, where are you?

Legally speaking, for a few hours, Aaron Minyard is dead in that car. Luther Hemmick, the next-of-kin to one Tilda Minyard, 35, pronounced dead in a car accident, is contacted by the relevant authorities. He says, Tilda and Aaron had left our house in an emotional state. He says, Aaron was a good boy. He says, What a tragedy. Yeah, Aaron thinks. Real fucking sob story.

Andrew dies in the car crash too. Aaron picks up the pieces.

read on ao3

then & never fest prompt, for animediac: 54. Andrew dies in the car crash with Tilda.

patient violence

Happy @aftgtandn reveals day!! I wrote some painful heist chaos featuring Andrew keeping his promises, Jean enduring, and Neil’s awful commentary through it all.

READ IT HERE

Preview:

Pain.

That was Nathaniel’s first thought upon waking. So much pain, everywhere in and on his body. It invaded his lungs when he breathed and chafed his skin when he shifted. He tried to draw back from his own aching body when he caught the sound of a familiar voice.

“I knew you were crazy. I didn’t realize you were suicidal.”

“Move,” another voice commanded, but this one didn’t belong; not in this room, stadium, or state.

“You ought to be the one moving,” Jean said, and Nathaniel heard the fear underlining the threat. “You won’t like what comes next if you are found here.”

“You won’t like what comes next if you don’t step aside, Jean.”

Andrew?

The Foxes. Easthaven. The doctor. Andrew.

“Neil?”

What would happen if Neil didn't confront Andrew immediately after realizing he went through his bag...
